Last week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Marc Guberti; who has written over 18 books and is the host of the Breakthrough Success Podcast where he’s had guests like Seth Godin, Neil Patel, and Ray Edwards. It was while he was speaking about some of his most successful guests and how they all have systems in place, that our interests were particularly piqued.
It was a great reminder of how important systems are, not only in business, but also in our general lives. It’s that concept of having internal and external systems in place that we’re diving more into today. Enjoy!

Last week, we spoke with Anna Nti-Asare who is a writer, teacher, counselor, a PhD student at Cambridge University.

It’s that practice of gratitude that we’re diving into today and how is applies to our humanness and the global desire to obtain happiness.

During our conversation last week with Loren Trlin, in which we talked about how she helps young people figure out their purpose, we realized a common theme in that process was trial and error.
This might have stood out to us because we’ve both used trial and error, whether intentionally or not, to figure out our own purposes.
In this episode, we explain how trial and error led us both to where we are today, how our unhealthy relationships with money have had a ripple effect on various aspects of our lives, and why our issues with feeling unworthy of success kept us from realizing our true purpose.
Loren Trlin figured out her life purpose after burning out as a lawyer, launching 3 unsuccessful businesses, and embarking on a "Find My Why" experiment.
In this episode, Loren talks about her transformative journey, how she responds to people who push back against the idea of having a true purpose in life, and how she was able to tap into her warrior spirit.
